title: Experimental demonstration of the full-wave iterative compensation in free space optical communications.
abstract: Long-range free space optical communications suffer from atmospheric turbulence effects. To mitigate them, a bidirectional full-wave compensation technique seems promising. We present an experimental implementation and characterization of this concept on a laboratory breadboard. Experimental results confirm former numerical results for similar propagation conditions. The effects of measurement and control errors are analyzed by numerical modeling.
